Did you wet the wrap when you put it on or did you do it dry? Looks like you did it dry.

I would do dirty dirty unforgivable things for an ARTech manifold.

I did do it dry (giggity) It was a quick in car job, so I got it as tight as I could. I had to take the start of it off to start the threads on my downpipe up top, that's why it looks loose.

Every time I've wrapped a dp I forget about the limited space on the bottom studs and start the wrap too high. Then I have to screw with it after its all on tight, and the pipe is back in the car. I do it every ******* time and ask myself why do I always forget this ****.

Don't feel bad I did the same thing on my FM3 manifold, and those stud/nut combo barely fit.
